Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of profile cutting, in particular to an automatic feeding device for aluminum profiles. Background Art

[0002] Most of the produced profiles are very long and are cut into different lengths to suit different occasions. The traditional profile cutting method is to manually move the profile to the equipment for cutting and cutting, mark it at the preset length, and then use the cutting equipment to align the mark for cutting. After cutting a section, the material is manually taken out. This processing method has problems such as low production efficiency, poor cutting effect and low cutting accuracy, and cannot meet the needs of modern industry for efficient and precise processing.

[0003] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the profile cutting and processing method that introduces automated production equipment is now widely used.

However, since the upper end surface of the storage rack is always inclined, when transporting special-shaped profiles, the frontmost profile is easily compressed and deformed.

[0005] Based on this, the technical problem solved in this case is: how to solve the problem of profiles being compressed and deformed during transportation. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an automatic feeding device for aluminum profiles, which realizes transportation by changing the upper end angle of the placement rack through a swingable placement rod, thereby preventing the front end profile from being compressed and deformed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 3, an automatic feeding device for aluminum profiles, including at least two placement racks arranged side by side and used to place profiles, the placement racks including a first column 3, a second column 4, and a placement rod 5; one side of the placement rod 5 is hinged to the first column 3, and the other side of the placement rod 5 can be placed on the second column 4 and its upper end surface is horizontal; and also includes a driving mechanism 6 for driving the placement rod 5 to swing.

[0021] One end of the placement rod 5 of the placement rack of this embodiment is hinged on the first column 3, and is swung around the hinge point by the driving mechanism 6. During this process, the upper end face of the placement rack will gradually tilt to the horizontal plane, so that the profile falls into the external conveying equipment under the influence of gravity, and the automatic loading is completed. On the contrary, when loading is not needed, the upper end face of the placement rack is restored to the horizontal under the drive of the driving mechanism 6, so that the profiles placed on its upper end face will not be squeezed against each other, and deformation of the profiles is avoided. It should be further explained that the receiving surface of the external conveying equipment should be lower than the upper end face of the placement rack, and its structure should be diverse, such as the transmission table in patent document CN117068656A.

[0022] In this embodiment, specifically, a mounting column 51 is provided on the placement rod 5; a mounting platform 41 is provided on the second column 4; one end of the driving mechanism 6 is arranged on the mounting platform 41, and the power output end of the driving mechanism 6 is connected to the mounting column 51 and is used to drive the placement rod 5 to swing.

[0023] In this embodiment, more specifically, the driving mechanism 6 is a hydraulic cylinder; one end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged on the mounting platform 41 , and the power output end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the mounting column 51 .

[0024] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the mounting platform 41 is located in the middle of the second column 4 , and the mounting column 51 is located in the middle of the placement rod 5 .

[0025] Under the above design, the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder can drive the placement rod 5 to tilt or restore the initial flat state. The hydraulic cylinder is selected for load capacity considerations so that it can maintain a stable driving force for the placement rod 5 to flip under the weight of the aluminum profile.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there are two placement racks, including a first placement rack 1 and a second placement rack 2 ; the hydraulic cylinders of the first placement rack 1 and the second placement rack 2 share a hydraulic system 7 .

[0027] Under the above-mentioned preferred embodiment, the hydraulic cylinders of the first placement rack 1 and the second placement rack 2 are controlled by an oil pressure system 7, which can better ensure that the thrust of the two is consistent and the flip angle is consistent, thereby avoiding the height difference between the first placement rack 1 and the second placement rack 2, which may cause the aluminum profile to fall accidentally. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of placement racks can be increased as needed according to the actual length of the aluminum profile.

[0028] In this embodiment, specifically, the upper end of the first column 3 is provided with a first groove 31, and the placement rod 5 is hinged in the first groove 31. This design is a common hinged installation method, which can prevent the placement rod 5 from interfering with the first column 3, and no additional explanation is given in this embodiment.

[0029] In this embodiment, more specifically, the upper end of the second column 4 is provided with a second groove 42 in which the placement rod 5 can be placed; in order to eliminate the sound generated by the collision of the placement rod 5 when placed in the second column 4, a protective layer 43 made of flexible material is provided on the second groove 42. The protective layer 43 can protect the placement rod 5 on the one hand, and also play a role of sound reduction on the other hand.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the upper end surface of the placement rod 5 is provided with a convex portion 52 that directly contacts the profile. It should be further explained that the convex portion 52 is in a long strip shape, and during the transfer, the aluminum profile always keeps in contact with the convex portion 52. In practical applications, the convex portion 52 can reduce friction and make the aluminum profile easier to move.

[0031] In this embodiment, in order to further ensure that the first placement rack 1 and the second placement rack 2 flip in unison and avoid accidental falling of the aluminum profile due to the height difference, the first placement rack 1 and the second placement rack 2 are connected by a cross bar 8.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
